Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Rutherfordton, NC

I believe everyone has a unique story. When you come to therapy, I will listen to you, collaborate with you, challenge you and support you in reaching your goals for therapy.

Some life experiences can leave us confused, afraid, angry, and longing for joy. Supporting individuals of all ages, couples or families trying to navigate a path back to joy is a privilege like no other. I provide honest encouragement and practical education to those who are seeking positive changes.

We all struggle. It is universal. But we can all also learn practices, tools, and insights to help us struggle well. Whether you are feeling hopeless, lost, confused, or down, I believe we can work together to find a way through the tough times and develop the skills you need to keep moving forward in positivity. Areas of focus include mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, substance abuse issues, veterans' concerns, and parenting skills.

Is your child or teen struggling in school or at home? Are you struggling to manage your child or teen's behavior or your own reactions to his/her behavior? Do you struggle to communicate with others? Are you overwhelmed and finding it challenging to manage life's demands? Are you seeking to understand yourself better, improve your communication with loved ones or your relationships with them? Have you had childhood trauma or a recent traumatic event that is still impacting you in the present and you wish to heal? If so, I'd love to help.

I have experience in working with individuals (i.e. children/preadolescents ages 3-12 and adults) struggling with adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, emotion regulation and behavioral challenges. I work with couples who are seeking premarital or marital counseling and work to promote a safe atmosphere where couples can explore their current challenges, process their emotions, and foster hope. I also work with couples and families to create a nurturing and supportive environment where members can grow as individuals as well as develop healthy relationships.

At Abilities Reimagined, we specialize in testing for learning and behavioral disorders such as ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, autism, anxiety, and more. Our assessments extend beyond a one-time office visit. We prioritize capturing the most accurate daily picture of your child's abilities. When appropriate, we offer the option to conduct observations in their natural environment like school. In addition to evaluations for disabilities, we also conduct WISC-V and WAIS-IV assessments for giftedness and provide admissions testing for private schools.

Hi! I'm Marina Skrabalak, LCSWA. I'm happy that you've taken the first step to becoming your best self. Are you struggling with your mental health and in search of making changes? Are you looking for a supportive, non-judgmental and confidential space to talk openly? I am here for you. L & B Counseling is breaking the stigma of counseling with an outside the box approach. We bring the office outside and engage with clients using creative activities. We are outdoors-oriented, but we do offer in-office and virtual appointments. We have multiple therapists, so if you prefer someone else, we have you covered. (Rocky Mt - Virtual only).

Hello there, and welcome to my page! I'm so glad you're here taking this step. I treat a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, life changes, behavior concerns, and difficulty with self-image and identity. I also provide a safe space for Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color and LGBTQIA+ clients. I'm willing to work with clients at any point in the therapeutic process, whether you don't know what therapy is really about, or if you've already seen change and want to maintain it.

Therapy can be a wonderful tool to help you during a confusing or scary time. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals! I believe that everyone is capable of making choices and changes in their lives that will help them maximize their potentials if given the right support and feedback in a safe environment. This is what happens with good psychotherapy. I look forward to joining you on this journey!

Whether it is behavioral issues impacting your children, arguments occurring in your relationships, or utter chaos wreaking havoc on your family. There is HOPE. Let's chat about ways to address and overcome this problem.

Hi, I'm Brit. I'm a neurodivergent and highly sensitive expressive arts therapist. I support folks in Asheville and virtually throughout NC. I focus on working with children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, low self-worth, sensory sensitivities, and grief or loss.

I received a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Social Psychology from Lehigh University in 2003 and graduated from Columbia University in 2007 with a Master of Science in Social Work. I specialize in the areas of health/illness, medical education, medical/social trauma, chronic pain/disability, grief/bereavement, and loss.

You have noticed difficulties arise in your life. You may struggle to embrace yourself, show hesitancy in engaging with others, or feel discouraged in your attempts to accomplish tasks. Perhaps you carry worries with you. You may feel as though you are disconnected, unheard, unseen, and misunderstood. I strive to connect with, hear, see, and understand you. I honor each of my clients' unique stories and work toward empowering them to take ownership and agency in the telling and shaping of their stories.

My passion is to help others by giving them tools to live their best life. I believe we grow up learning from our caregivers, as well as the environment in which we live. Traumas, abuse, neglect, and natural disasters factor in to how we deal with everyday life. My philosophy is that "Every person matters; You Matter." I want to help you reach your goals. We will do that by setting obtainable goals and working towards them at a pace that doesn't feel overwhelming but does challenge you to grow. We will facilitate your growth by teaching new skills, empowering forward progress, and encouraging you every step of the way.
